Saturday July 24 th was the final round of the Old Parr Cup and Bill Wilson was again the man to catch and again he was having none of it. After the dust settled Bill had increased his winning total to claim the Old Parr Cup by an astonishing 13 points from nearest rival Rob Colley.
In the day's scramble, the winner of the Horse and Jockey's Golfer of the Week voucher and 4 balls was an excellent effort by Ron Leadbeater with an 86-19-67 and 40 points. One point back and earning 3 balls was John Gillespie, whilst Adrian Joe and Roger Verry both claimed 2 balls for their 38 points. The 37-club this week were Tony Gillies, Paul Wood, Heath Oldershaw, Brent Stewart, Ian Reed and Jayden Lunn, each grabbing a ball. Two ‘s were uncommon with Rex Mason and Adrian Joe picking up a ball each for theirs (Rex's coming on the 8 th hole). And despite many recounts it was established that Ian Taylor had indeed two'd both the 6 th and 11 th to claim 10 balls. The Challenge card hole winner was Ron Leadbeater who picked up the Challenge voucher, and in the (some might say meaningless) whacker of the week rankings, Alex Johnson who's been threatening for some time, made the grade with ease.

Bill's combined total for the two rounds was a14 under par 128.

A ball for Allan wiles finishing on +1, and there was a ball also for Steve Oates, Kurt Edmonds and Alan Tappin for their finishing all square. Alan picked up a second ball for his two, with John Gillespie claiming the other. Whacker of the week was a shamefully close affair with countback putting Alan Taverner ahead of his peers, and a ball to the good.
